Doing away with NPHC orgs is not going to fix our communities and the problems we're facing as a culture. Another thing that annoys me when I read these type of articles is that they just ignore the countless amount of work that's being done at the graduate level. It's true that undergrad membership is plentiful but so is graduate membership these days. These days alumni chapters are getting bigger and bigger and everyone knows that with maturity comes more focus and dedication to what you're trying to achieve. When the problems in the Black community cease to exist, then we can talk about our relevance but until then, we are just as relevant today as we were yesterday.

Well, I think that we all can do it 2 ways: A Top Down edict that this is the law, or "grassroots efforts" for local chapters.
I like a combination of both. It makes it pluralistic for most people.
I do miss a collective community service activity in ORDER to become a member of an organization... Without it, what are really here for?
I know in my community, boy is there a lot of community service that must be done and my Sorority cannot and will not do it all... But, I know in other cities, only 1 or 2 NPHC graduate affiliates run the show and represent.
At any rate, it sounds like the person who wrote has not been active that long or not is graduate chapter long enough.
